Hotels near Sangster International Airport - MBJ, Montego Bay

Unless your all-inclusive resort has a lot of options to keep you entertained, nice beach access, and good food, you better find a different part of the country for your stay. Mo Bay is a run-down town, not fun walking or strolling the city's pot hole ridden streets. It has an uneasy feeling of " I made a wrong choice" place. You'll be constantly bothered by people trying to sell you weed. offer you a "boy for the night," taxi services, or beg for money. Avoid!

Margeritaville and Aquasol are closed due to a wave that destroyed them. No go karts. Heard pelican cove was good but since we cooked we didn’t go out at night. We didn’t feel comfortable doing that anyway. All I he tourist shops sell the same stuff. The shops that say groceries have very little. Go to progressive foods and stock up on water, dairy, etc. there was no lettuce so I made greek style salads with peppers and tomatoes. Toasted westerns. Pasta and rice. We spent most days at doctors cave which is perfect and lunch good too. $50 per day for one umbrella and two chairs. We had lunch on the beach every day. It was great. Tried harmony beach twice it was good. But I would not wander further than that. We took local red plate taxis for 200 JM or $2 US. The KFC sells the most amount of chicken daily it’s a lineup and drive through around the corner, you won’t get any. Just get the pizza next door and give the leftover to whoever asks. This is across from harmony beach. 🏖️ I like that they search all our bags for glass and knives and hang on to them. Good! We felt safe there too. Doctors cave was the best. People everywhere were super friendly. Next time, I’ll go back to Negril. It’s more zen there. But I’d stay a night or two in Montego Bay. And hang out during the day. Not the night.

If your a new travellers to Mo'Bay, the Deja Resort is in the heart of the hip strip; from here nothing is too far, popular beach is across the road, for those travelling long haul the transfer once you arrive is a 15min short taxi ride. Other resturants if desired are all within walking distance, even a trip in to Mo'Bay is within walking distance; I'm a Brit so walking everywhere is pretty much standard but a short cab ride is available if you so desire.

Great place but be prepared to pay to use the beaches. If you are going to stay for the whole day then you will get your money's worth, if only for a couple of hours it is not worth it. The beaches all appear to be owned by the resorts so you need a day pass to enter onto them. Montego Bay is amazing though, you can watch the aeroplanes landing and the landing lights start in the Ocean, great to watch.

It was nice to know upon arrival and gaining entry to the resort you were checked in. I booked 3 nights and was not disappointed. If I could have stayed for 2 more nights, it would have great. Check out the Piano Bar. Although a Solo Traveller, I felt safe. All staff members whom I came into contact with conceigre, front desk, tour desk, waiting staff and housekeeping were very helpful. Definately would stay again as you are literally 5 mins from the airport which was of no disturbance.

Montego Bay is a very tourist town. there are plenty of hotels to fit whatever budget you are going for and lts of Ocean views. There are fancy restaurants and local authentic jamaican spots as well. The downtown area is local made but if you really want to see Jamaica visit there to see all the authentic vendors and maybe eat at the street vendors and get your hair done or buy cheaper merchandise for everything there. They have a casino and game room in center of the hip street with surrounded shops bars and restaurants. So a very nice place with great views and food as well as parasailing and boat rides or whatever you like to do in the ocean...
